| Abstract | Policy initiatives such as user choice and training packages have been significant contributors in the move towards a more industry-driven vocational education and training (VET) system. An important consequence of this shift has been greater pressure on industries to provide opportunities for training in the workplace, and a reclaiming of the workplace as an authentic site for learning. In effect, vocational learning is increasingly being de-institutionalized, and VET practitioners are being increasingly encouraged to "get out into industry." The key issue, therefore, is: In what ways and how effectively do public VET practitioners work with private enterprises? Given this changing relationship between public VET and private industry, this study explores the roles of technical and further education (TAFE) practitioners working with and within private enterprises. The research objectives were to: (1) identify how TAFE practitioners work with and within enterprises; (2) analyze the perceptions of these ways of working held by TAFE managers, TAFE practitioners, enterprise personnel and on-the-job learners; (3) evaluate the effectiveness of these ways of working; and (4) draw implications for how these ways of working may be enhanced. The study involved an in-depth analysis of six case studies in Victoria (metropolitan) and South Australia (metropolitan and regional), as well as several pilot interviews in New South Wales. Each case study comprised a TAFE institute and an enterprise with which there was some form of linkage. In total, 34 interviews were held with four types of participants--TAFE managers, TAFE practitioners, enterprise personnel and workers learning on the job. The report finds, the ways that TAFE practitioners involved in this study work with and within enterprises can be summarized as including one or more of the following six roles: (1) bearers of glad tidings: injecting new dimensions in learning arrangements in companies; (2) raisers of standards: sharpening and focusing the training as the acknowledged training experts; (3) builders of learning culture: serving not only as content trainers, but fulfilling many functions that help to build culture; (4) coaches of learning: working one to one, adding value; (5) bridges between TAFE and industry: serving to link different cultures for the benefit of both, able to do so because of their often unique backgrounds and experiences; and (6) models of learning: acting as examples of learners, thereby enhancing their credibility, and modeling lifelong learning. The report concludes with a consideration of the implications of TAFE-enterprise collaborations for VET managers and practitioners, for company personnel and for policymakers. (Contains 2 tables.)
